The Other End-?The acquisition of a brand-new Brazilian dreadnaught by Turkey recalls the story of the Turkish admiral who had been newly appointed to the command of the Aegean squadron. He installed himself in the admiral's quarters?which opened to the sternwalk?on board the new flagship one evening, and went to bed. Next morning he awoke and ordered full speed ehead. After a little delay the propeller began to revolve, but as it had not moved since the ship was sold to Turkey?at more than cost price by a power which had no use for It?it maae a tremenaous racket. "Allah!" cried the admiral. "What in the name of the prophet is this uproar?" "That, excellency, is the propeller," replied the captain. "Stop it, then!" It was pointed out to the admiral that stopping the propeller resulted as a rule in the stopping of the ship likewise. "Then take the thing ofT." bellowed the naval autocrat, "and put it on the other end." Ths Right Scsnt^?A certain English humorist, visiting America, was spending the week in a town on Cape Cod. One afternoon he boarded a trolley car and found the only available seat next to a roughly dressed, hale and hearty down-easterner. The Englishman's jaunty cane and neat outing clothes evidently attracted and amused the workingman, for after a minute or two of inspection and with a quick look at his friends across the car, he touched a linger to his cap. "Excuse me. sir," he inquired, "but don't you come from Manchester-bythe-Sea?" The Englishman adjusted the well known monocle, exaggerated nis stare, and replied: "Bah Jove! How did you surmise It? And am I wrong in thinking that you are from Glouchester-by-thesmell?" A Costly Method.?Andrew Carnegie In a recent interview on peace, said to a New York reporter: "A lad of 20 killed a man and woman In Sarajelvo. All Europe Is now fighting to avenge this wrong. England alone is spending $35,000 a minute, according to Sideny Webb, on gunpowder. "Well, this is such an expensive way to avenge a wrong that it reminds me of the man at the banquet. "A man entered the cloakroom, at the end of the banquet, and began to smash in silk hat after silk hat. " 'Hold on, boss! What fo' ye* smashin' all dem high hats?" demanded the attendant. " 'I'm looking for my own,' the gentleman answered. 'It's an opera hat ?collapsible, you know. None of these seem to be it."

"Miss Price," she said, "I want to tell you how much I liked your speech. It was one of the best I ever heard." "I am so glad you are with us," replied Miss Price, "and I hope you will come to our other anti-suffrage meetings." "Oh. exclaimed the astonished woman, "I thought that was a suffrage meeting you spoke at." Instant Alarm.?"What made you turn around and walk out of that hotel?" asked the man who was carrying a big valise, according to the Washington Star. "Too expensive," replied his companion.

"We have such and such torpedoes," Mr. Daniels replied, naming a particular type. "Oh, they are no good," replied the caller. "That may be," interposed an admiral who was present, "but they are the same kind of torpedoes that sank three British cruisers in the North Sea." 'Twa?

"That's what the ticket in my invitation says. See here." The usher's eyes were moist as he read: "Present at the door."?Judge.

Their request for requisition papers was resisted by a well known Columbia lawyer. Governor Blease had many kind things to say to them about Gastonia and this section of the country. PROSPERITY FOR THE SOUTH What Mr. McLaurin Look* for a* the Result of the Great War. That the south is about to enter a new era of business and finance is the opinion of John Lowndes McLaurin, former United States senator from South Carolina, and now chairman of the state warehouse commission of that state. Senator McLaurin when seen at the offices of Renskorf, Lyon & Co., said he believed that in many ways the European war and the consequent tieup of this year's cotton crop would prove a great boon to the south in that it wouia cause ner iu diversify her crops. In South Carolina, at any rate, he believes that the law restricting: cotton acreage will be rigidly enforced and hopes that other cotton states will follow the example. "The law passed in South Carolina," said Mr. McLaurin, "provides that no planter shall have over onethird of his cultivated area in cotton. It further specifies a tax of $25 for each per acre evasion and the law makes all sheriffs, district attorneys and other state and municipal officials responsible for the carrying out of its limitations. As a result, South Carolina is already beginning to diversify her crops and is now planting wheat and oats in greater quantities than they were ever sown in the south before. The people of the state are enthusiastic over it. In some cases they are not even waiting for the cotton crop to be harvested, but have sown their grain between the rows of cotton plants. No one who has not lived in the south can realize what this will mean to that part of the United States. It means that the south is entering a new era. that she will be far richer in a few years than ever and that her system of doing business will be changed from a credit to a cash basis. It means that we can harvest two crops a year instead of one, grain and cotton, and that with the grain we raise we can become independent of the west, where we are now forced to buy our grain. The south has never been able to get away from planting cotton exclusively before and probably would not now had it not been for the tieup in the cotton crop owing to the war. In that way the strife in Europe may eventually prove a boon to the cotton growing states. May Go on Cash Basis. "I believe that we are going to shift to a cash basis of doing business in the south now. Cotton has always been an expensive crop to raise. To gin and pick a bale of cotton costs one-quarter of what it sells for, outside of all the numerous other costs, such as feeding the hands, purchasing fertilizer, machinery and all the other things which cost money in raising cotton. Moreover we are obliged to keep a large part of our hands all the year round. Now, with two crops we can employ them throughout the four seasons and make it profitable." Senator McLaurin believes that when the war is over, cotton will be selling at a higher price in Europe. He pointed out that the belligerent nations were fast exhausting their supply, as evidenced by prices on the continent, and said, "When the war is over they will be heavy purchasers, not alone for their regular supply, I 1*? it fnp tholr rouorv'P VniV with Pftt . I ton acreage restricted in this country and already restricted in Egypt and India, it is easy to see that when the ;rush to buy conies the price will soar higher than it has ever, gone for some time. In that way the south is going to profit." The senator believes that it will be necessary, however, for the south to i get Its aid from the $136,000,000 cotton pool fund on a basis of 7 cents a pound instead of 6 cents the pound, as . is provided. It will be necessary to I get advances at the rate of 7 cents the ' pound, he says, in order to enable the , planters to pay their bills, buy their i supplies for the year to come and j purchase the food and other necessities for themselves and their hands. Praises State Warehouse Act. 1 Senator McLaurln told of the very 1 excellent cotton warehouse act which has been passed in South C arolina, , and said that the other cotton growing j states were expected to pass some!. such legislation when they next met. i Under the provisions of the act the state of South Carolina operates the warehouses and issues the receipts against the cotton stored therein in the name of the state. The state guarantees the grade of the cotton and suits may be brought against the state by holders of the recelnts in case of dlragreemenL As a result the warehouse receipts are available for discount under the Federal reserve act. Senator McLaurin said he thought the action of the National City bank in establishing branches in South America was one of the biggest steps taken for a long time. "It is a bold step and a good one," he said, "and it deserves the hearty ? support of th administration in Washington. It is a shame that heretofore Americans doing business , with South America should have to 1 purchase their exchange in pound sterlings and do business via England. This action of the National City bank i has chaneed all that and Dlaced the I dollar on a par with the pound J sterling. If we could only have a ( great American merchant marine now to carry our manufactured products to i South America and carry back to us I their raw products It certainly would \ round the matter out In fine shape. Then the South Americans would ] surely be more willing to trade with ' us than they would with England and ( Germans."?New York Sun. 1 COBB AND KITCHENER ] < Famous Correspondent Interviews Fa- I mous British Soldier. Irvin S. Cobb reports in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post, an interview on the war with Lord Kitchener, which Is condensed by the 1 New York World. The interviewer encountered a man who asked more questions than he answered, but having pumped his questioner dry, expressed nis own views freely in the only talk, Mr. Cobb declared, which Lord Kitchener has given for publication since the war began. "The war will last not less than three years," Lord Kitchener said. "It will end only when Germany is thoroughly defeated, not before?defeated on land and on sea. That the allies will win Is certain. That for us to win will require a minimum period of three years I think probable. It might last longer?this war might. It might end sooner. It can end in only one way. "That It will end in a month from now, or six months or a year, I do not think likely; so, to be on the safe side, I say three years?at least three years. Britain Will Fight to End. "If Germany gives up sooner, so much the better for Germany and for us and for all the world. If three years are required for the undertaking, or more than three years, the world will find that we, for our part, 1 are prepared to go on, and ready to go on, and determined to go on, and certain to go on. In any event this war can have but one outcome?one ultimate conclusion. I "The Germans still think they will t win," said Lord Kitchener, speaking l with the inflection that made the re- ( mark part plain statement and part t question. "I wonder how long a time i they think it will take them to win?" j "They are still fully confident," Mr. Cobb replied, "but they have changed their schedule?their time card." Here Lord Kitchener made use of f the one outright gesture he used. He J brought his fist down hard on the table in front of him with a thump. J It was a big sinewy fist?put it In a J glove and It would make you think 1 of a buck's haunch?and the thump . was audible and solid. r ? r.li,i? ? V?II? W IIIBII v?inpn>k|>i "They are right in one regard," he 1 said slowly; "it will take longer than * a year to end the war. But they are wrong in another regard; they are 1 wrong when they think they are go- ( ing to win?if, indeed, in their hearts they honestly think that. They are not going to win. "Their campaign in the west is a failure. It is a failure already, and it will become more and more a failure as time passes. When an army of invasion ceases to invade that army has lost its principle function and has failed in its principle object. When that army hides itself in trenches and fights at long range, it is doing nothing except waste itself; and especially is this true when that army, having reached its maximum of strength and efficiency and aggres- , siveness months before, is now losing 1 in all those essentials. "To lie in that unending chain of trenches which stretches across northern France for hundreds of miles, like a long graysnake?that is not waging a successful campaign. That is not even waging war, as I conceive war to be. For an army of defense? Perhaps, yes; though under certain circumstances it might be a mistake for an army of defense so to dispose itself. For an army of invasion? Well, events?the future? will justify my belief. Of that I am as sure .as I am that I am alive. Aero Attacks Not War. I "Dropping bombs on cities, whether those cities be defended or undefended, is not waging war. It is a costly, spectacular byplay which counts for nought in the final result and really does not count in the detail of momentary advantage. "Paris might be captured and 3t)ll the war would go on. England might be invaded?though I believe the enemy has not yet worked out complete plans for that undertaking?and still the war would go on. Germany might take and keep the other side of the channel, as she has already taken Antwerp, and still the war would go on. Belgium might be made a captive province for the time being, and still the war would go on. "This war is going on until Germany has been defeated. There is no other possible contingency. "Has not the confidence of the German soldiers been shaken by recent events in the western theatre of war, and especially by what has been happening in France during the last month? What do the men think of the failure of the German plan of campaign toward Paris? Great Mistakes of Generals. "I do not understand why the knowledge of the truth of the situation as it exists today has not spread through the armies and affected the men. They must guess?as we here on the other side know?that their leaders have made some terrible mistakes. All generals make mistakes. Just as well as all men make them; out me misiaaes mai nave maae are such great, such tremendously great, mistakes!" As the interview proceeded, Lord Kitchener asked the German attitude toward the soldiers of the allies. Mr. Cobb replied that the Germans regarded the Russian soldier as a stubborn fighter and the officers incompetent; they concede the excellence of the French light field artillery, but say the French soldier lacks physical endurance; the English are the hardest fighters they have to meet, and they speak particularly well of the fighting qualities of the Scotch, but say there are not enough British troops in the field to count as a factor in the western campaign. "That is a defect," Lord Kitchener Bald, referrln to the numerlacl strength of the British, "which we are taking Bteps to remedy. There is no better fighting man alive than the Scotchman ?anywhere. In what way do the Germans Justify their treatment of Belgium?" Mr. Cobb replied that the German attitude had changed since September and, having first defended invasion from military necessity, they were now basing it on the discovery of secret papers in the Belgian archive exposing Belgium as a potential and actually ally of France and England before hostilities Their Alibi Too Late. "In other words,'' commented Lord Kitchener, "the Germans prepared n f- -?1L1 n Liirir ttuui auri uic ati woo cuumuwicu ?which weakens the alibi without excusing' the act. It is a poor defense that must be changed in the middle of the trial. "War has its ethics, which often upset the ethics of peace," he went on, speaking of the German course in Belgium; "but if it be granted that the man in a uniform holds absolute dominion over the lives and property of noncombatants of a nation, he loses, to my conception, his proper and ordained functions. If that standard is to prevail, we shall all cease to be soldiers md shall enroll hired executioners and send them forth against our enemy with guns and hangman's nooses and firebrands in their hands. "Years ago, in the Soudan, I was called on to fight the enemy who prac:iced this code, but that enemy was a tavaae. and the Germans, as they i :hemselves tell us, are the exclusive jwners of the highest civilization the (vorld has ever seen."
